There are a _bunch_ of alternate, non-published "solutions" to positions in WAC.
 It wasn't originally intended to be scrutinized by computers, but was just a
nice problem set for humans.  Most of the problems where there are alternate
winning solutions tend to give the most 'elegant' solution, whereas a computer
just wants to munch material or find mate.
